Ji, Gao-Hua, Xiang, Xian-Fen, Chen, Shou-Zhong, Yu, Gong-Liang, Kotov, Alexey A. & Dumont, Henri J., 2015, Annotated Checklist of Chinese Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda). Part II. Order Anomopoda (families Macrotrichidae, Eurycercidae and Chydoridae), Zootaxa 4044 (2), pp. 241-269 : 252-262

Subfamily Aloninae Dybowski et Grochowski, 1894

Acroperus angustatus Sars, 1862 . Records: Uéno, 1937: 206/5-1 (swamps in Wusuli district); Chiang & Du, 1979: 203–204/135 (Neng Jiang at Fula’erji in Heilongjiang; Inner Mongolia); Zhang et al., 1997c: 291/1 (Songhua Jiang at Sifangtai in Harbin). Rare in China. These determinations should be checked, because before the revision by Sinev (2009) authors were confused about differences between Palaearctic species of Acroperus .

Acroperus harpae (Baird, 1835) . Records: Uéno 1937: 205–206/5-2 (Raohe County, Wusuli district); Ye 1956: 51/II: 10 (Dongqian Hu); Chiang 1963b: 58 (Qinghai Hu); Chiang 1964: 79 (the sublake of Buluntuo Hai; puddles at Tieganlike; pools at Buerjin; the estuary of Kaidu He; littoral zone of Bosten Hu, all in Xinjiang); Shen & Sung 1964: 63 (Duoqing He in Tibet); Shen & Sung 1965: 299 (Duoma’er He; small lake nearby Nake Hu, both in Tibet); Chiang & Du 1979: 202–203/134 (ponds at Haiyan County in Qinghai Province; provinces of Taiwan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Tibet and Xinjiang); Jiang 1982: 179 (Bomi, Lhasa, Yadong and Kangma in Tibet); Jiang 1983: 446–447 (a branch of Yigong Cuo in Bomi; a pool near the Potala Palace; Angjiu He in Pali Town; Yadong; Kangma, all in Tibet); Zhang & Chen 1996a: 22 (Lixin, Hefei and Dongzhi in Anhui); Xiang 2009: 109/61–62 (provinces of Taiwan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Tibet and Xinjiang); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Dongqian Hu). Common Palaearctic cladoceran, but its presence in the tropics is doubtful ( Chatterjee et al. 2013).

Acroperus neglectus Lilljeborg, 1901 . Record: Zhang et al. 1998: 159–160/1 (a small lake near Nen Jiang at Nehe County in Heilongjiang Province). Rare, status unclear, probably a junior synonym of A. harpae (see Sinev 2009).

Alona affinis (Leydig, 1860) . Records: Uéno 1937: 207 (swamps in Wusuli district (Yüeh-pien-pao, Hai-chü-tzu and Raohe); Chiang 1955: 107 /III: 24, 24a (Wuli Hu); Ye 1956: 52 /14, 14a (Dongqian Hu); Du & Lai 1958: 39 (Tai Hu); Du & Lai 1959: 310 (Tai Hu); Huang et al. 1959: 92 (Baiyang Dian); Du et al. 1964: 194 (Tai Hu); You 1962: 120 (Fujian); Chiang 1964: 80 (a puddle in Tieganlike; Eerqisi He in Buerjin; the litoral zone of Bosten Hu, all in Xinjiang); Shen & Sung 1964: 63 (Duoqing He in Tibet); Shen & Zhang 1964: 129 (Baiyang Dian); Shen & Sung 1965: 300 /1–2 (Duoma’er He and nearby pools; Nake Hu and its tributary and nearby small lakes, all in Tibet); Shen et al. 1966: 30 (Menghai, Simao and Yunjinghong); Chiang & Du 1979: 220 –221/149 (swamps at Yintan Town in Qinghai Province; Eerqisi He in Xinjiang; provinces of Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hebei, Hubei, Yunnan, Inner mongolia and Tibet); Jiang 1982: 179 (Zayu, Lhasa, Bomi, Motuo, Linzhi, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Kangma, Jilong and Mangkang in Tibet); Chen 1983: 23 (Yibin, Luzhou, Chongqing and Yichang section of Yangtze River); Jiang 1983: 446 –447 (Zayu, Lhasa, Bomi, Motuo, Linzhi, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Kangma, Jilong, Mangkang); Li 1984: 26 ( Tianjin); Chen, 1984: 343 (Baiyang Tuo and Wenjia Dang along Yangtze River in Chongqing); Chen 1985: 2 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Fan 1985: 13 (Tuo Jiang); Li 1985a: 22 (Estuary of Beitang in Tianjin); Li 1985b: 53 (Jinzhong He, between Chaobai He and Jiyun He in Tianjin); Chen 1987a: 12 (a bay in Jiang’an section of Yangtze River); Chen 1989b: 502 –504/1–2 (Kaitu He at Jiangkou County in Guizhou Province); Chen 1990b: 87 (the estuary of Tuo Jiang); Chen et al. 1991c: 87 (Guzhang in Hunan); You & Xu 1993: 19 (Meihuashan Nature Reserve); Chen 1994: 169 /1–2 (Lushui Reservoir); Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir); Zhang et al. 1994: 179 (Jingdezhen, Wuning, Wuyuan, Boyang, Yushan, Nanchang, Fengxin, Qianshan, Guixi, Shanggao, Yujiang, Zhangshu, Xiajiang, Yongfeng, Ji’an, Taihe and Quannan in Jiangxi); Zhang & Chen 1996a: 22 (Jixi in Anhui); Zhang et al. 1997c: 293 –294/4 (Chishui He in Fuxing Town, Chishui City); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Fuzhou Area, Western, Northern and Southern Fujian); Dai & Cai 1999: 21 (Jinghong and Menghai in Xishuangbanna); Shu et al. 2013: 206 (Potatso National Park in Shangri-La); Xiang 2009: 125 /95 (Yibin, Luzhou, Hejiang, Jiangjin, Chongqing, Wanzhou, Yichang, Chenglingji, Honghu, Jiayu and Wuhan section of Yangtze River; Tuo Jiang, Chishui He, Longxi He, Fu Jiang, Jialing Jiang, Huangbai He, Gan Jiang; Hong Hu); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Dongqian Hu); as Biapertura affinis (Leydig, 1860) in Chen et al. 1989: 418 (Yanhe, Yinjiang, Tongren and Jiangkou in Guizhou). A common species.

Alona aliensis Chiang, 1980 . Records: Jiang 1980: 335–336/a–b (a swamp near Xiangquan He and a puddle at the foot of Guxiang Hill, Zhada County, Ali District); cited by Jiang 1982: 179; Jiang 1983: 457/LXV: 5a–b. Could be endemic, but needs to be redescribed (Van Damme et al. 2010).

Alona cambouei Guerne & Richard, 1893 . Records: Chen et al. 1992: 89–90/3 (Chiping in Shandong); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong). As A. pulchella in Chen 1993b: 27–28/1–5(a discarded fish jar in the yard of IHB, CAS, maybe from Dong Hu in Wuhan, male and female). A common tropical-subtropical taxon; many previous records of A. pulchella and A. setigera from South Asia really refer to this taxon (Kotov et al. 2013). The most obvious difference between A. cambouei and A. pulchella is in the dorsal head pores, and most records from China fail to describe them.

Alona cheni Sinev, 1999 . Record: as A. setigera in Chen & Peng 1993: 19 /1–5 (Lushui Reservoir). See A. setigera section.

Alona costata Sars, 1862 s. lat. Records: Poppe & Richard 1890: 78 (Shanghai; Lake Sitai = Tai Hu); Sars 1903: 15 (found in the aquaria with dried reddish clay from Puching); Lu 1939: 9 (Er Hai); Zhang & Yi 1945: 4 (Dian Chi); Kiser 1948: 315 (the Pearl River in Guangzhou); Mashiko 1953: 51, 64/6c–d (Hankou; Wuchang; Nanmen Hu and Gantang Hu in Jiujiang); Ye 1956: 52 /II: 12,12a (Dongqian Hu); Borutsky et al. 1959: 14 (Chongqing); Du & Lai 1959: 310 (Tai Hu); Zhang 1960: 114/8 (Daming Hu); Zhang 1962: 112 (Daming Hu); Chiang 1963b: 58 (Qinghai Hu); Wei 1963: 125 (Liuheta in Hangzhou); Chiang 1964: 82 (ditches and puddles at Tieganlike in Xinjiang); Du et al. 1964: 194 (Tai Hu); Shen et al. 1964: 214/6–8 (Yueya Chi at Xiang Hill in Beijing); Shen & Zhang 1964: 129 (Baiyang Dian); Shen & Sung 1965: 301 (the tributary of Nake Hu in Tibet); Chiang & Du 1979: 228 –229/157 (Eerqisi He in Xinjiang; a puddle near Qinghai Hu; widely distributed in China); Huang 1981: 48 (Chongqing, Nanbu, Neijiang, Naxi, Luxian, Mabian, Ganzi); Jiang 1982: 179 (Zayu, Bomi, Lhasa, Linzhi, Milin, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Jilong, Zhongba, Mangkang, Shenza and Ritu in Tibet); Chen 1983: 23 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Jiang 1983: 446 –447(Zayu, Bomi, Lhasa, Linzhi, Milin, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Jilong, Zhongba, Mangkang, Shenza, Ritu); Li 1984: 26 ( Tianjin); Zhao 1984: 114 (Linxian, Kaifeng); Chen 1985: 2 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Fan 1985: 14 (Tuo Jiang); Li 1985a: 22 (Estuary of Beitang, Shuishang Park in Tianjin); Li, 1985b: 53 (Jinzhong He, between Chaobai He and Jiyun He in Tianjin); He & Fan 1986: 2 (Hong Hu); Chen 1989c: 17 (a pond at Yongsheng in Yunnan); Chen 1990b: 87 (the estuary of Tuo Jiang); Mao 1993: 81 (Shandong); You & Xu 1993: 19 (Meihuashan Nature Reserve); Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir); Tian 1996: 42 (Xiaoqing He in Jinan); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Ningde Area, Fuzhou Area, Western, Northern and Southern Fujian); Tian & Gao 2001: 88 (Yellow River Delta); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong); Xiang 2009: 126 /99–100 (Yibin, Jiangjin, Yichang, Chenglingji and Wuhu section of Yanzgtze River; Min Jiang, Tuo Jiang, Chishui He, Fu Jiang, Jialing Jiang, Huangbai He, Han Jiang, Yuan Shui, Gan Jiang; Hong Hu, Dong Hu in Wuhan, Dian Chi, Qiandao Hu, Wu Hu near Wuhan, Xi Hu in Eryuan). Represents a group of species. In south China we expect A. cheni Sinev, 1999 , common in South Asia ( Sinev 1999a; Kotov et al. 2013).

Alona fasciculata Daday, 1905 s. str. Records: Chen et al. 1992: 90–91/5 (Jinan and Pingdu in Shandong); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong). A. fasciculata s. str. is likely a valid species (Van Damme et al. 2010) described from South America, and thus the status of Asian populations needs checking.

Alona guttata Sars, 1862 s. lat. Records: Uéno 1932: 242 (Xi Hu and Baoguosi Pond in Hangzhou), 248 (small ponds in the suburb of Chongqing); Uéno 1937: 207 (Nen Jiang near Qiqihar; a pond at Lüshun; swamps at Rao He); Lu 1939: 10 (Er Hai); Ye 1956: 52 /II: 15 (Dongqian Hu); Zheng 1957: 26 /14 (Nanjing); Shen & Tai 1961: 141 /2a–b (Shuifeng Reservoir); Shen & Sung 1962: 37 (Sanmenxia Reservoir); You 1962: 121 (Fujian); Deng et al. 1963: 145 /13 (Poyang Hu); Chiang 1964: 80 (a pool at Aletai; Baerbagai; rice field at Kuerle; pools along left bank of Buerjin He; river branches in upper Eerqisi He; the estuary of Kaidu He in Yanqi; Bosten Hu, all in Xinjiang); Shen et al. 1964: 215 (Huairou Reservoir); Shen & Sung 1964: 63 (Yangzhuoyong Hu, Duoqing Hu, Duoqing He, Longsang He, Kala He, all in Tibet); Shen & Zhang 1964: 129 (Baiyang Dian); Shen et al. 1966: 30 (Menghai and Simao); Chiang & Du 1979: 225 –226/154 (Aerbagai at Aletai in Xinjiang; a pool east of Xiaguan in Dali; Dong Hu in Wuhan; Heilong Tan in Lijiang; most provinces of China); Huang, 1981: 48 (Nanbu, Neijiang, Yibin, Longchang and Xichang); Jiang 1982: 179 (Zayu, Lhasa, Motuo, Linzhi, Cuomei, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Kangma, Jilong, Mangkang, Shenza and Ritu in Tibet); Chen 1983: 23 (Yibin, Luzhou and Yichang section of Yangtze River); Jiang 1983: 446 –447 (Zayu, Lhasa, Motuo, Linzhi, Cuomei, Cuona, Langkazi, Yadong, Kangma, Jilong, Mangkang, Shenza, Ritu in Tibet); Li 1984: 26 ( Tianjin); Zhao 1984: 114 (Zhengzhou, Shangcheng); Chen 1985: 2 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Fan 1985: 14 (Tuo Jiang); Li 1985a: 22 (Estuary of Beitang; lotus pools in Nankai University; aquacultural pools at Balitai, all in Tianjin); Li 1985b: 53 (Jinzhong He, between Chaobai He and Jiyun He in Tianjin); He & Fan 1986: 2 (Hong Hu); Chen 1987a: 12 (a bay in Jiang’an section of Yangtze River); Chen 1989c: 17 (a pond at Yongsheng in Yunnan); He et al. 1989: 28 (pools and ponds in Yinchuan); Chen 1990b: 87 (the estuary of Tuo Jiang); Mao 1993: 81 (Shandong); You & Xu 1993: 19 (Meihuashan Nature Reserve); Chen et al. 1994b: 16 (Hong Hu); Peng, 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir); Tian, 1996: 42 (Xiaoqing He in Jinan); Zhao et al., 1996a: 6 (Baisha Nor in Zhangjiakou; Caiwopu Hu in Urumqi; Beimentan; Xiao Chi; Yan Chi in Yuncheng); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Ningde Area, Fuzhou Area, Western, Northern and Southern Fujian); Dai & Cai 1999: 21 (Menghai); Tian & Gao 2001: 88 (Yellow River Delta); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong); Xiang 2009: 130 /106–107 (Yibin, Luzhou, Fuling, Zigui, Yichang, Jingzhou, Jianli, Jiayu, Jiujiang and Nanjing section of Yangtze River; Tuo Jiang and Huangbai He); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Er Hai, Dongqian Hu); as Alona guttata parvula Kurz, 1875 by Chen & Chen 1995: 56 –57/2 (a pond at Chatou Village, Aoqiao Town, Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province); as Alona guttata reticulata Hartmann, 1917 by Chen et al., 1991c: 89 /4 (Ningyuan in Hunan); as Alona guttata guttata Sars, 1862 by Chen et al. 1991c: 89 (Jinshi, Linxiang, Baojing, Guzhang, Yuanling, Anhua, Jishou, Fenghuang, Huitong, Qidong and Ningyuan in Hunan); as Alona guttata tuberculata Kurz, 1875 by Chiang & Du 1979: 226 /154f (Heilong Tan at Lijiang in Yunnan); Zhang et al. 1994: 179 (Yujiang in Jiangxi). A common species.

Alona inreticulata ( Shen, Sung & Chen, 1964) . Records: Shen et al. 1964: 215/9–12 (a ditch at Zhoukoudian in Beijing); cited by Chiang & Du 1979: 228 /156; Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir). A possible synonym of A. cambouei (Van Damme et al. 2010) .

Alona intermedia (Sars, 1862) s. lat. Records: Du & Lai 1959: 310 (Tai Hu); Tsao 1959: (Pianchuangzi Reservoir in Yibin); Wei 1963: 125 (Liuheta, Xi Hu, Chenghe and Gudang in Hangzhou); Chiang 1964: 80 –81/21–24 (the estuary of Eerqisi He; the litoral zone of Bosten Hu, both in Xinjiang); Du et al. 1964: 194 (Tai Hu); Chiang & Du 1979: 218 –219/147 (Eerqisi He; provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Sichuan, Shandong, Hebei, Guizhou, Qinghai, Tibet and Xinjiang); Huang 1981: 46 (Neijiang, Yibin); Li 1984: 26 ( Tianjin); Li 1985a: 22 (Estuary of Beitang; pools in Nankai University); Li 1985b: 53 (Jinzhong He, between Chaobai He and Jiyun He in Tianjin); Mao 1993: 81 (Shandong); Zhang & Chen 1996a: 22 (Chuzhou in Anhui); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Ningde Area, Fuzhou Area, Northern and Southern Fujian); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong); Xiang 2009: 127 –128/ 102–103 (Luzhou section of Yangtze River; Laixi He, Longxi He, Yuan Shui; Qiandao Hu); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Dongqian Hu). Valid Palaearctic species.

Alona longispina Chen & Yang, 1989 . Records: Chen et al., 1989: 417–418/1 (a fish pond north of Huangping in Guizhou); Chen et al., 1991c: 89 (Anhua in Hunan). Endemic. Possibly a valid taxon, but description insufficient (Van Damme et al. 2010).

Alona milleri Kiser, 1948 . Records: Kiser 1948: 316/4–6 (the Pearl River in Guangzhou); Chiang & Du 1979, 223–224/152 (Long Hu at Jinjiang in Fujiang; Er Hai); Huang 1981: 48/27–28 (Yibin, Naxi); Chen 1983: 23 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Chen 1985: 2 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Chen et al. 1991c: 88 (Jinshi, Baojing and Xinning in Hunan); You & Xu 1993: 19 (Meihuashan Nature Reserve); Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Ningde Area, Fuzhou Area, Western, Northern and Southern Fujian); Xiang 2009: 125/94 (Jiangjin, Yichang and Chenglingji section of Yangtze River; Tuo Jiang, Fu Jiang, Huangbai He; Xi Hu in Eryuan); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Lushui Reservoir, Dongqian Hu). Valid species, endemic to East Asia (Van Damme et al. 2010).

Alona pulchella King, 1853 . Records: Shen & Sung 1964: 63/3–6 (Lang Hu in Tibet); Chiang & Du 1979: 227/ 155 (Lang Hu in Tibet; provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Beijing and Shaanxi); Jiang 1982: 179 (Angren in Tibet); Jiang 1983: 448–449 (Lang Cuo in Tibet); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Fuzhou Area); Tian 2004: 23 (Shandong), Xiang 2009: 130 (Guangdong, Fujian, Wuhan in Hubei). Dubious records. A. pulchella s. lat. is a complicated species group (Van Damme et al. 2010) that needs to be revised worldwide. A. pulchella s. str. is an Australian endemic, without reliable data as to its presence on other continents (A.Y. Sinev, personal communication). See also A. werestschagini .

Alona quadrangularis (O. F. Müller, 1785) s. lat. Records: Chiang 1955: 107/III: 26, 26a (Wuli Hu); Du & Lai 1958: 38 (Tai Hu); Du & Lai 1959: 310 (Tai Hu); Shen & Sung 1962: 37 (Sanmenxia Reservoir); Zhang 1962: 112 (Daming Hu); Deng et al. 1963: 144/11 (Poyang Hu); Wei 1963: 125 (Liuheta in Hangzhou); Du et al. 1964: 194 (Tai Hu); Chiang & Du 1979: 219–220/148 (a fish pond at Liyuan Park in Wuxi; provinces of Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Shaanxi and Yunnan); Huang 1981: 46/24–25 (Chongqing, Yibin, Naxi); Jiang 1982: 179 (Lhasa); Jiang 1983: 446–447 (a ditch near Potala Palace); Zhao 1984: 114 (Shangcheng); Chen et al. 1989: 417 (Bijie and Zhenning in Guizhou); Mao 1993: 81 (Shandong); You & Xu 1993: 19 (Meihuashan Nature Reserve); Chen 1994: 169/1-1 (Lushui Reservoir); Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir); Zhang et al. 1997c: 293/3 (a pond at Guixi County in Jiangxi Province); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Fuzhou Area, Western and Northern Fujian); Tian, 2004: 23 (Shandong); Xiang 2009: 125–126/96–98 (Yibin, Chongqing and Chenglingji section of Yangtze River; Min Jiang, Tuo Jiang, Wu Jiang, Huangbai He, Yuan Shui, Gan Jiang; Hong Hu, Dong Hu in Wuhan, Poyang Hu, Wu Hu near Wuhan; a pond at Guixi County in Jiangxi Province); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: a stream in Luquan County, Yunnan Province; Lushui Reservoir). At least some of these populations belong to A. kotovi Sinev, 2012 from Vietnam (Sinev 2012).

Alona setigera Brehm, 1913 . Records: Peng 1994: 20 (Lushui Reservoir). Most probably, this determination refers to A. cambouei or A. cheni . A. setigera s. str. is a taxon distributed in Australia, Tasmania, Indonesia ( Sinev 1999a) and Pacific islands ( Schabetsberger et al. 2009) that differs from other species of the costata -group by the presence of two main head pores, not initially described by Brehm (1913). Smirnov (1983) allocated it to Biapertura for its two main head pores. Chen & Peng (1993) observed three connected main head pores, therefore their taxon was not setigera , but most probably, A. cheni . A. costata and A. cheni are very close, and it is impossible to separate them from each other without a study of head pores. We believe that A. setigera is not present in China.

Alona virago Brehm, 1935 . Records: Shen et al. 1964: 215–216/13–15 (a pond outside the Yongding Gate in Beijing); Shen & Sung 1965: 301 (Teyapu Hu; Nake Hu and its tributary and a nearby small lake, all in Tibet); cited by Chiang & Du 1979: 229 –230/158; Chen 1983: 23 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); Jiang 1983: 448 – 449 (Teyapu Hu and Nake Hu in Tibet); Chen 1985: 2 (Yichang section of Yangtze River); He & Fan 1986: 2 (Hong Hu); Zhao 1995: 101 (Xinxiang); Jiang 1982: 179 (Tibet); Xiang 2009: 131 /108–109 (Yichang and Wuhan section of Yangtze River; Chishui He, Huangbai He; Hong Hu); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Dongqian Hu). Possibly a valid species (Van Damme et al. 2010).

Alona werestschagini Sinev, 1999 . Records: as A. pulchella in Chiang & Du 1979 (fig. 155) (Tibet); as Alonella rostrata in Chiang (1963, plate VI, fig 39–40) (Chinghai). A. werestschagini is distributed in Pamir, Tibet and Altai mountains of Central Asia ( Sinev 1999b), to be expected in mountanous West China.

Anthalona lineolata ( Chen & Yi, 1991) . Records: as Alona verrucosa lineolata Chen & Yi 1991 by Chen et al. 1991c: 87–88/1 (a small reservoir at Xian’e Village in Huarong County in Hunan Province). Status debatable, possibly a junior synonym of Antalona mediterranea (Yalim 2005) (see Van Damme et al. 2010).

Anthalona verrucosa ( Sars, 1901) s. lat. Records: as Alona verrucosa Sars, 1901 in Shen & Zhang 1964: 130/6–9 (Baiyang Dian); Chiang & Du 1979: 221–222/150 (Baiyang Dian; Xiaosha He at Dengchuan County in Yunnan Province); Xu et al. 1998: 9 (Fuzhou Area). All these determinations need to be checked, since in Asia A. verrucosa is probably replaced by related species, viz. Antalona harti and A. lineolata ( Van Damme et al. 2011; Sinev & Kotov 2012).

Records: Chiang 1964: 83 /25 (Bosten Hu); cited by Chiang & Du 1979: 210 –211/141; Fan 1985: 13 (Tuo Jiang); Xiang et al. 2004: 189 (Han Jiang at Shayang, Xiantao); Xiang 2009: 117 / 81–82 (Tuo Jiang; Jialing Jiang; Huangbai He; Han Jiang); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Luzhou, Jiangjin and Wuhan section of Yangtze River; Dong Hu in Wuhan; Ci Hu, Niulang Hu in Hubei). Not common.

Leydigia longiseta Chen, 1992 . Records: as Leydigia macrodonta longiseta by Chen 1990b: 87 (the estuary of Tuo Jiang); Chen 1992: 165–168/1–10 (Dong Hu in Wuhan; Yichang, Luzhou and Hejiang).
